That bit about "fat people" is totally made up - don't believe it for a moment. I've found that Advil is good for cramps - but check with your parents first! Don't ever take medication becasue someone on a web site said so.

My mom usually gives me Midol to help. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I'll have to suggest Advil as well.
